What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x+y=5x+y=5. Fully simplify your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 5

Put this equation in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope

y = -x +5

The slope of the line is -1

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

-1 * m = -1

m = 1

The slope of the perpendicular line is 1
